One week later.

The majority of people in Huaxia have already been evacuated to various famous mountains across the country, taken there by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, Dragon King Hall, Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Way of Nature, and surviving Mountain Masters from each famous mountain to seek refuge nearby.

The folded spaces behind the famous mountains have not yet completely merged with the mountains, expanding the mountains themselves; the spaces inside are much larger than the mountains, capable of accommodating far more people.

However, the population of Huaxia is simply too large, resulting in a small number of people being unable to enter the mountains for refuge. Therefore, they can only reside in high-rise buildings, relying on taking Essence Qi Pills to resist the cold.

They failed to enter the mountains for refuge, but there are some advantages, such as more comfortable living conditions at home and better food.

The only thing that makes them uneasy…

is that they went from originally taking one Essence Qi Pill to effectively resist the cold for three days, to now taking just one to resist the cold for only one day.

It's not that they've developed resistance to the Essence Qi Pills, but rather that the weather is getting colder and colder.

The impact of the new wave of spiritual energy revival brought about by snowstorms has continued for a week without stopping and has instead become more severe.

By now, the whole world has basically lost water, electricity, and internet!

Ordinary five to six-story small houses were buried under snow long ago, making them uninhabitable.

Currently, the only habitable structures are those above the twenty-fifth floor, because even twenty-story buildings are almost buried by snow and are very dangerous.

For safety considerations, those unable to seek refuge in the mountains are generally residing around thirty floors!

This group of people went from initially feeling quite comfortable, thinking it might not be a bad thing not entering the mountains, to now gradually becoming somewhat panicked.

Because if the blizzard continues, they won't just have nowhere to live; they may soon need to take several Essence Qi Pills a day to resist the cold effectively, in which case they will definitely be doomed sooner or later.

However, because of the loss of power and internet, they have nowhere to vent their grievances.

They can only lament why they didn't buy houses near the mountains at that time; otherwise, they wouldn't be suffering so much now.

Qinling.

After one week of arrangements and adjustments.

Now, Mu Jinyu no longer needs to endlessly refine Essence Qi Pills day and night. The pills produced by more than seven thousand Alchemy Furnaces are sufficient for the people still living in the cities to use for resisting the cold.

The daily task for Mu Jinyu is now to produce Fasting Pills.

Yes, Fasting Pills, elixirs that, when consumed, allow people to go several days without eating.

After all, with over a billion people crammed into the mountains, how will they solve the problem of eating? Can a single mountain provide meals for millions or even tens of millions every day?

This is simply impossible!

Delivering food cooked outside to them?

That food would freeze into blocks of ice on the way, and even if it's defrosted upon arrival, it would lack any flavor.

As such, it's best to provide them with some Fasting Pills to prevent starvation without needing to eat unpleasant food.

During these special times, people are receiving special treatment, which they can understand.

This is also why before, those who were not selected to enter the mountains felt their modern urban life was quite comfortable.

Refining Fasting Pills, however, is not as cumbersome as refining Essence Qi Pills, as Fasting Pills strictly speaking are not true elixirs, just ordinary pills.

Like the Beauty Pill, although it has some miraculous effects, the effects aren't very significant, so refining them is quite easy.

Mu Jinyu personally refines Fasting Pills; unlike the one pill per second for Essence Qi Pills, he can refine hundreds to thousands in a second…

In other words, if he's in good form, he can produce nine thousand Fasting Pills in one second!

Initially, Mu Jinyu personally made Fasting Pills, but later, after Xia Ruochen arranged the materials for him, he established a Fasting Pill production line similar to the assembly line equipment for making Beauty Pills in the past.

So, he found himself with more free time, no longer busy every day.

During this week, San Liu, Qiu Bai, and Chen Xiuying, who followed Yu Shenfeng abroad to battle organizations like Fallen Splendor and Paradise Lost, all gradually returned.

Still, no news of Yu Shenfeng one week on.

"Could Senior Yu have encountered trouble again?"

In the small room, everyone sat around the stove, Mu Hongchen frowned in confusion.

Su Zijin asked, "Why do you say 'again'?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Yu Shenfeng indeed has had a string of unfortunate events, starting from the time he was afflicted with Cold Poison, to later being attacked by many enemies, being heavily wounded, and going into seclusion, and now missing since the spiritual energy revival.

There are barely any in Dragon King Hall who are as unlucky as him.

After the smile, everyone's faces turned serious again, their worry for Yu Shenfeng deepened, fearing he really might be in trouble.

Even though Yu Shenfeng joined Dragon King Hall midway, over the past year, after several crises while defending the hall, everyone grew attached to him.

Of course, they didn't want this King of Assassins to end up in trouble like that.

"No, I have to go out and find Master..."

San Liu initially didn't worry much when he just returned a few days ago, as Qiu Bai and he also hadn't been back then, but now he's beginning to feel uneasy.

"I have to go out and find Master too..."

"I am going too!"

Qiu Bai and Chen Xiuying were the first disciples to apprentice under Yu Shenfeng, and they naturally had deeper feelings compared to San Liu, Nameless, and Zhu Yeqing, who only became his disciples last year.

A few days ago, they wanted to search for Yu Shenfeng, but as everyone discussed, they felt he would surely return soon, so they suppressed their anxiety, not immediately rushing out to search.

Now that San Liu also wants to find their master, they obviously can't just sit idle.

Mu Jinyu nodded, saying, "I also think we should look for Senior Yu. Do you have any personal items of Senior Yu?"

"Yes." Qiu Bai stopped just as he was ready to head out, paused hearing Mu Jinyu, and searched through his Storage Bag, taking out a Magic Treasure, saying, "This is the Magic Treasure Master gave me half a year ago before going into seclusion. Will it work?"

Mu Jinyu felt the Magic Treasure and shook his head, "No, it doesn't have any of Senior Yu's aura left on it. Never mind, I'll return to Yinlong Mountain and look for his clothes in his room."

"Take us with you," Chen Xiuying quickly said.

"Okay." Mu Jinyu responded, then looked at Gu Xiyan and Su Zijin, saying, "I will go directly with them to find Senior Yu, you continue to help out here."

"Alright." Su Zijin nodded in agreement.

With a wave of his hand, Mu Jinyu brought San Liu, Nameless, and Qiu Bai to instantly teleport to Yinlong Mountain.

Upon returning to Yinlong Mountain, Mu Jinyu went straight to Yu Shenfeng's room and found the clothes he recently changed. Using the personal aura on these clothes, he performed the Immortal's Guide spell to begin the search for Yu Shenfeng.

"Buzz!"

Mu Jinyu opened his eyes, saying, "I couldn't pinpoint the exact location, but it's likely in the south region. Let's go; we'll scatter and search together."

The Immortal's Guide spell naturally could detect the general direction but cannot accurately know the exact location, so after discovering Yu Shenfeng was in the southern region, Mu Jinyu instructed everyone to spread out to search for Yu Shenfeng!
